Did They Kill the Wrong Man!

A special dispatch from Charlotte, n.
c., says that a case was concluded on Sat
day in the Swain County Court which
aboundcd in many peculiar incidents.
About year ago Aaron Ingram, a young
farmer Of that county, killed Il ncighb0r
named Sherman Welsh, by s:abhinG him
with q barlow knife. Ingram then diSap
pcarcd and was not heard Of fHr nine
months. The sheriff Of the county. who
was q cousin of the murdered man, organ
lied Il posse to go in pursuit. They : / ON
the track Of the murderer in Rabun county,
Ga, and followed him down through Toe
Goa, Danielsvillc and Washington to Au-
guSta. AT the latter place they declared
they had captured their man and put him
out Of the way. When the story was told
in Swain county people believed it. Dr.
Ward, an uncle of the fugitive, at once
route, and stopped over night with Col. d.
w. Meadows, Of Danicl3villc, Ga, who
rendered him valuable assistance. The
result was the discovery of dccapitated
body, which the old man took to be that Of
Aaron Ingram. A diligcnt search, how.
ever, failed to locate the head. The fact
Of the matter was that Ingram had given
his pursucrS the slip and made his way
across the country to the Indian Territory
There he fell into the hands OF two old
citizens Of Swain county, who had hca. {
of the murder and the reward of 500 f0l
the murderer's capture. Ingram resisted
arrest, was shot down, and fingered be
tween life and death for several weeks he
fore he could be brought uack to Swai,
county where his trial began last Thurs
day. Col. Meadows was brought all th
way from Georgia to conduct the case
and secured for his client Il verdict Of man
slaughter, for which he was only SENTENCED
TO seven months in jail

ONE PENSION VETO.

The New York sun commends us "a manly
'avowal' and 'thc greatest act yet witnessed
sin his career the confession of President
Cleveland in recent pension veto, in which he
says:
am aware of precedent for the legislation
proposed which is furnished by an enactment of
The last session of Congress, to which j asscnted.
ms think, improvidently.
Unfortunately for the President his words do
not truly state the case. The bill which he
aludes to as having signed increased the pension
of General Kelley from ST2 to 500 per month,
hut there was no similarity between that and
the bill he vetoed, except that the amount of
the increase proposed in the latter was the
same. The conditions were entirely different
and hence there was no precedent" General
Kellcy's pension was increased, although we be
lieve he was at the time, as he certainly is now
drawing salary as clerk in the Pension Office
He is therefore able to earn n subsistence
Yet the President signed the bill increasing hi'
pension, and now vetoes one giving similar
increase to a badly wounded soldier who II
totally and absolutely helpless. As the TIVE
cases are in this essential feature totally dis
similar, there was no precedent good or bad
about 1t, and the Presidents "improvidence" IL
asserting to an increase for a man who wa
able to earn, or at least draw, salary, was no
half as great as his ungraciousness in interpos
ing to defeat the charity OF Congress in cas-
which appealed as strongly as 1t was possible t.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The answer Of the Public School Trustees to
the charges about which 50 much has been said
in and out Of Congress is complete aud sats-

that the sum estimated for salaries Of teachers

are really underpaid rather than overpad II
any read justment Is needed It II that the lower
salaries should be increased, not that the higher
ones should be cut down The Commissioners
zee so many places where the District revenues
can be expended on works which are greatly
needed that they are almost driven to pare the
school estimates as closely as possible. And
Congressman are too apt to think salaries which
would sound excessive In country towns are al
least adequate here. Yet their own experience
should teach them that the cost OF living Il
necessarily greater here than at their homes,

feel sure OF IS that there j. something wrong

THE PARK FENCES.

II would probably be an improvement TO some
Of our reservations to remove the high iron
fences that surround them. The ideas Of what
is ornamental have changed since the costly
fences were erected, and they have gone out of
fashion. But while so many squares and trian-
giles throughout the city remain totally unim-
proved 1t is foolish TO spend money In removing
Ing fences placed at great expense around the
more fortunate parks which were improved
years ago. Let the money be spent, instead, In
sodding and planting reservations which have
never been improved. And let us not be de-
vourcd by fashion, and in such haste to destroy
everything old. Granting that the new ideas
are the best, we need the old ones to point the
contrast. A touch Of something quaint and
old fashioned adds q charm to any place. We
have not so much Of that charm that we can
afford TO obiterate any trace of II, even an OBJ
eolete fence. And we are not even certain that
the old taste was 30 much at fault Would La
fayette Park look any better with an iron chain
looped from one squat-post to another, on
which urchins might conveniently swing, and
over which the hasty pedestrian might step un
observed2 Or with the unprotected edges o
It's turf lying bare along the sidewalks, and al
its now secluded, shady recesses staring open
eyed into the street; 1t is far better as II IL
Let tho new reservations be finished according
10 new ideas, but leave the old ones with ih,
charm OF secluson and quiet which their old
. fashioned high fences impart.

spONGING on THE MOON.

l,is doubtful II there is in this country or the
world city the size of ours, to say nothing OF
It's importance as the Capital OF great nation,
where the old provincial system OF following
',hc moon" is observed In public lighting.
Can we imagine London, Paris, Vienna, or
Berlin sponging on the moon for lish, one
quarter of each month II is too absurd But
our city fathers not content with that, carry
their economy still further, and when an en-
terprsing merchant or citizen has an electric
light In front OF his place OF business, the
public lamps within radius OF say fifty feet
are cut oil, and the citizen Is allowed TO pay
his tax for lighting the street and do the light
ing besides. The contagion appears TO he
spreading, for no less than some eighty lamps
have been discontinued in the Capitol grounds
the past few months-a place OF all Others
where there ought to be plenty Of light
not only for the credit of the Government
in the appearance of things, but for the safety
and protection Of our citizens who have to
traverse the public grounds at night Some
night n crime will be committed there that
will shock the community, and then II will be
too late.
